A school surveillance video shows the teacher using force against Ian Nelson, 6. His parents, Autumn and Anthony Nelson, and their Cleveland attorney Daniel Margolis met privately with Mr. Hackenberg on Tuesday after voicing frustrations to reporters about what they say has been an insufficient investigation into the incident.

Mr. Hackenberg said the parents expressed their concerns, and he indicated he would see “if there’s anything more that could be done.”

The defendant’s attorney, Jay Feldstein, would not comment. Ms. Williams has pleaded not guilty.

Mr. Nelson said the family has not decided “at this time” to file a civil lawsuit.
